Why do some people get smelly gas after eating eggs? I really love eggs, but I get really bad, sulfurous and rotten egg-smelling gas after eating eggs. This doesn't happen when I eat foods which contain eggs in moderate amounts (cakes, etc), but it does happen when I eat hard-boiled eggs or fried eggs. I don't get any stomach cramps or any other symptoms of allergy, however.
5. Rotten Eggs. The smell of rotten eggs is a tell-tale sign that you have a gas leak or a problem with your plumbing. The smell of sewage is often compared with the smell of rotten eggs. The first thing you should check is if the smell is coming from your drains or when you turn on the water. You may have a dried out P-trap or water seal in a floor drain or the problem could exist in your homeâs sewage tank or the plumbing water pipes.
